Interesting. Looks too irregular, wild and scratchy to be Ogham? But also unlike a modern digger....any record of it by anyone else? We have quite a few nice Ogham stones around where we are in West Wales and this doesn't look anything like it
yeah i found it curious - I don't think it's ogham but then i wouldn't really know either! i've been wondering about it, then i just read in chris butler's book 'prehistoric flintwork' about stones being used to sharpen flint axes. he gives the example of this stone on fyfield down near avebury - themodernantiquarian.com/site/1973/polisher
There are a bunch of so-called "arrow stones" in North Wales above Llanfairfechan too, which have straight cuts on them (search "arrow stone" on here and you should find them).
wow! very interesting to see the welsh examples. i'll upload a couple more pix of the markings at lagmore..
